On Friday, November 21, 2025, Richard A. Black, a senior research fellow with Germany’s Schiller Institute, issued a stark warning: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent remarks on the Taiwan region and her push to revisit the Three Non-Nuclear Principles could have “extremely grave” consequences for Japan and the wider world. 🚨
Black argues that tinkering with Japan’s no-nuke policy—no production, no possession, no introduction of nuclear weapons—risks lighting a match in a highly charged region. He even cautions it could set the stage for another global conflict.
He also slammed the revisions in history textbooks across Japan and the Taiwan region, calling them distortions that gloss over wartime realities. According to Black, these moves by Tokyo’s leadership point to a dangerous revival of Japanese fascism, and he believes the Chinese mainland has every right to take strong countermeasures.
From Mumbai to Manila, young people are watching closely. A shift in Japan’s nuclear stance isn’t just a Tokyo story—it could reshape security across Asia. ⚠️
As debates heat up in parliament and online feeds, it’s a reminder of why remembering history matters. Distorting the past can fuel division today. Stay tuned as Tokyo’s policy decisions ripple through our region.
